In TurboTax Online, file an extension by following these steps:

 

  • View the entries down the left side of the screen at Tax Tools.
  • Select Tools.
  • Select File an extension.

In addition, Free Federal tax extension is available here.

 

Extension for personal state income taxes here.

 

An extension does not give you more time to pay, it is only an extension of time to file.
